MR. TOOLE IN NEW YORK.
Mr Toole has not escaped the inevitable interviewer of the New York press. The New York Evening Mail , of August 14th, contains a column and a half of the famous comedian’s impressions of the America, extracted from him by a correspondent of that paper. Amongst other questions, Mr Toole was asked what he thought of Niagara. His reply was : “ Niagara is the greatest sight I ever saw. I saw it the evening I arrived, and got up before daylight to see it again in case none of the water should be left. It can’t last long, anyhow ; and I wrote to several of my London friends to come over soon, as I didn’t believe it could go on at the same rate. I told the hotel proprietor that I never knew any performance that had such a ‘ long run,’ but he assured me that he had made special arrangements that the fall season would continue till further notice. When we were under the falls I had to pay tor my costume. This was the first time I ever paid for * dressing up, ’ as I generally receive pretty large sums for putting on eccentric costumes/’ i. - - ■ • ■
